There's also anarchist groups like Federation of Anarchists and Syndicalists and homeless outreach groups like warm up Boston

The breakdown is just the fact that I misused a single word so in good faith I'll just take that L. I was also very very tired at the time.

semantics

It's not about supply vs demand. People need housing and are being pushed out by rising costs of living. that's the housing crisis.

Or maybe I'm out enjoying my life and don't have the time to explain something to a stranger online

It can't be explained in 9 year old terms because the world is far more complex than that. And no, privatization wouldn't happen with anarchy cos there's no private property or corporations to privatize anything

The limit on medical resources is also a factor but I mentioned academia specifically because it was an example in a book I just finished. Privatization is an enemy of medicine and only makes EMT work harder due to budget cutting and costs of care.

that's not at all true. I'm not gonna go into a rant about the USSR and why they were very marginally different from the US but suffice it to say capitalism actually stifles research in the name of profitability. It's a matter of risk v reward where research that has limited or no short term potential for profit and commercialization is neglected almost completely. It's a huge problem in academia. I'm also not advocating a change in government types. I'm an anarchist. I advocate for self-direction, free association, and an end to the state.

those accomplishments were made by society and the work of people as a whole and not by capitalism. by that same line of logic, marxist-leninism in the USSR was equally successful. This also has nothing to do with realism but go off.

agreed. as much as I have issues with DSA as an anarchist, It's a start for organizing at the spot you seem to be at with your views. and for reading resources I recommend the anarchist library or Red Ink in Providence

Capitalism and the state are the source of the problem and not a means to a solution. I wish it were that easy but it really isn't. this is the same thought process that Lenin used and we all know how that ended

you a member of DSA?

prices going up creates a rise in evictions and homelessness so yeah.

I don't care about finance, it's a spook. It only exists to perpetuate these systemic problems. I'm not saying we should wish away the constraints of the environment, but that we must change the environment itself. the system doesn't work and only serves to maintain these issues.

yes we should get rid of capitalism. if we don't rid ourselves of capitalism and the state, the world will turn into a desert

just because it's the world we live in doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't change it.

First of all, landlords have nothing to do with the construction of homes. They come in after the building is up. Second, the housing shortage in the US exists for the most part due to the prices of available housing (particularly in relation to median income), zoning issues, and housing allowed to sit idle due to a lack of profitability. Landlords don't provide housing, they hoard it and ransom it out.

yes

even "good" landlords aren't worth highlighting cos they still function to commodify essential human needs

it's passable for the most part unless you're trying to get something done. Like someone else said, it's very socially liberal but even that can drift into right wing but fiscally and action-wise (like I said when you actually want to get things done and improved) it's pretty conservative.

obviously it depends on who you talk to around there or where you are specifically, but imo the worst are places like cohasset, weymouth, marshfield, Salem in October (tourism crowds), and further inland places like lakeville

egg your landlord's house

You a cop too?

cool, I don't care about you vouching for a lazy and illegitimate system with no understanding of why people don't bring charges or come out with allegations in a timely manner. actually, as a jackboot you'd probably know a lot about that

statistically, no it's not at all probable that even a significant portion are false. go to bed, pig
